It’s meatball week here at Chez SGCC. That’s because we love meatballs and think they make the perfect Super Bowl nosh. They’re compact, easy to eat and can be made a zillion different ways. So, as we count down to the big game, I’ll be sharing some different and delicious meatball recipes for you all to try out.

Let’s kick off with these yummy Asian-style Scallion Meatballs with a Soy-Ginger Glaze.

The original recipe for these tasty little morsels, from Canal House Cooking, calls for ground turkey. I decided to make them with a combination of ground chicken and pork. You can use whatever you want. Turkey is perfectly fine. I just think that Asian meatballs should be made with chicken and pork. I also put a splash of fish sauce in my meatballs. Don’t ask me why. I’m just crazy like that. I think it ups the umami quotient. read more >>

When I served this Buffalo Chicken Dip last weekend during the play-off games, the hungry football fans at my house went wild! In fact, Mr. SGCC told me not to bother making Buffalo wings anymore because this dish was easier to make and eat, and was just as delicious. …

Next Sunday is not just any old Sunday. It’s Super Bowl Sunday! If you’re anything like me, by kick-off time you’ll have a houseful of hungry football fans who need food. And it had better be good food too. Food-deprived, beer-soaked, Super Bowl revelers can be a dangerous thing! …

I’m really enjoying this new little group, French Fridays with Dorie. So is Mr. SGCC. He likes that I’m cooking real food, and not just sweets. I like that too, but I also like that if I get really busy I don’t have to participate every week. It takes …

Mr. SGCC is not exactly what you would call a gastronome. Don’t get me wrong. He loves to eat and appreciates good food. But, local and sustainable are words he doesn’t normally associate with with that food. He doesn’t care if his chicken is free range or if his …

Though I’ve never had the pleasure of visiting any of his restaurants, Thomas Keller certainly needs no introduction to me. I’ve been hearing about and reading about his genius in the kitchen for years. His multi-award winning, three Michelin star rated flagship restaurant, The French Laundry, is legendary. …

There’s a lot of Sandra Lee bashing that goes on in the “Foodie” world. Come on, admit it. We’ve all snickered at her cute little outfits that she matches to her kitchen decor in every episode. We’ve giggled at her seemingly unnatural preoccupation with fancy, fruity cocktails. We’ve chortled …

Have you ever watched the Food Network show, Throwdown with Bobby Flay? I love that show! It’s fun to see regular old people duking it out with Iron Chef Bobby over their tried and true special dishes. I always root for the underdog too. Not that I don’t like …

Way back a hundred million years ago, when Mr. SGCC and I were first married, we received a copy of The Silver Palate Cookbook as a wedding gift. It sat proudly on our orange crate bookcase alongside The Joy of Cooking and The Betty Crocker Cookbook, also wedding gifts. …
